HURON — An Aberdeen company has been awarded a low bid of $5.1 million to construct the city’s new public works building in the West Industrial Park.
The bid came in about $400,000 under the engineer’s estimate.
City commissioners awarded the bid Monday to Kyburz-Carlson Construction Co. of Aberdeen. Work will start soon. The deadline for completion is September of next year.
The city is financing the project with $1.2 million in second penny sales tax money that has accumulated in a special account since 2009, and with about $4 million set aside in two reserve accounts. No money will have to be borrowed.
The new building will be constructed on seven acres owned by the city at the northeast corner of Third Street and U Avenue in the West Industrial Park.
It will be home to the street, traffic and water-sewer departments.
In other action, commissioners approved a plat for six lots filed by Greater Huron Development Corporation in the Southtown Addition.
The lots are being platted east of the new Kansas Avenue Southeast extension and south of the Coborn’s parking lot. There are parties interested in two of the lots. A cul-de-sac will also be developed to provide access to all six lots.
To the west of the Kansas Avenue Southeast extension in that area will be the locations of the Ground Round Restaurant and Dakotaland Federal Credit Union building. Dirt work on those projects has begun.
